A Weight is constructed by a query, given a Searcher ({@link * Query#createWeight(Searcher)}). The {@link #sumOfSquaredWeights()} method * is then called on the top-level query to compute the query normalization * factor (@link Similarity#queryNorm(float)}). This factor is then passed to * {@link #normalize(float)}. At this point the weighting is complete and a * scorer may be constructed by calling {@link #scorer(IndexReader)}. */ public interface Weight extends java.io.Serializable { /** The query that this concerns. */ Query getQuery(); /** The weight for this query. */ float getValue(); /** The sum of squared weights of contained query clauses. */ float sumOfSquaredWeights() throws IOException; /** Assigns the query normalization factor to this. */ void normalize(float norm); /** Constructs a scorer for this. */ Scorer scorer(IndexReader reader) throws IOException; /** An explanation of the score computation for the named document. */ Explanation explain(IndexReader reader, int doc) throws IOException; }
